Well it’s been a mixed old week for me. We had a great time at the weekend for hubby’s birthday and I managed to get some really good candid shots which came out well so I am feeling a bit more confident about getting some decent shots at the wedding in a few weeks now.

Unfortunately hubby’s grandma passed away yesterday so obviously that wasn’t very good news to hear just before going to work in the morning Even though we knew it was going to happen sometime soon (she had cancer) it was still a shock.

There a few other things on my mind too at the moment which are stressing me out so all in all it’s been a pretty rubbish week so far. My hubby is going away on a stag do at the weekend so I am going to take the opportunity to hopefully have a nice relaxing weekend and chill out a bit so I’m hoping I might be able to go out on a photography outing at some point.

So after taking aflight84's advice and reading my manual like a crazy person to try and understand what the different things do, I took some practice photos..

This was one of them and for some reason I really like it - I think it's because she actually looks like she does in real life in this picture lol

i suggest checking for a "for dummies" book while we're on the subject. no refection on your intelligence of course - i just found it explains everything really simply and i can read a little bit even if i'm tired and it sinks in.

 

[aflight84]
